Fantastic

Solo stay

Small gym with good basic equipment. Room clean, view very lovely. A little noisy late at night from the end of the evening scooter rush. Staff are super friendly and extremely helpful. Great place to stay - especially if you’re doing water-based activities where you need to meet at the docks.

Stayed with family · For leisure

Staff was fantastic and super helpful and responsive. Moved me to a room with a view when checking in. Hotel is a little dated in terms of furnishing, but I can’t complain for the price. Felt safe the whole time, 24hr front desk for wacky checkout times, and convenient location across from the mall. Only major complaint is the noise at night. Albeit I was offered a quiet room or a room with a view, but just a little frustrated with waking up around 2-3am every night because of motorcyclists racing down the street.

There's only 2 bath towels. No bar soap to wash your hands. There's bath gel, shampoo and conditioner. Receptionist said that they would bring extra bath towel, but did not. I had stayed there before covid time and service was much better.
